Opposition Leader Ted Baillieu today welcomed new Upper House Leader David Davis, and Deputy Leader of the Upper House Wendy Lovell to the Victorian Parliamentary Liberal Party leadership team.
Mr Baillieu said Mr Davis and Ms Lovell had a combined 18 years experience in the Victorian Parliament and would play a vital role in the resurgence of the Victorian Liberal Party.
